We always neutered our billy kids and ate them BUT they weren't out in the brush. They had a wonderful grassy hill knoll that grew grande grass. We also dehorned ours whether billy or nanny - I usually dehorned them young so it hurt me less. The only intact billy was a breeder who stayed up on the north 40 - they smell bad! We finally started taking our girls to a billy when they came in heat - much cleaner and nicer smelling!!

I had alway's heard that the stinkier the billy's beard's were, the more the females liked them. This past summer I watched the 2 billy's next door and learned how they got them so stinky like that, and I will never eat goats because of that.

Ya know, Marshmellow seems to realize now that Picasso, who is about 13 weeks now, is a pullet. Picasso is no longer afraid of him and has taken treats from his mouth even though he hasn't mated her yet, I wouldn't let him she's too little! But I thought it interesting the new dynamic between them.

They pee on themselves right?

I hear goats are really noisy. Someone has a large herd of sheep miles from here, maybe 5 miles or so. When they bring them to fields to graze I can hear them. The first time it sounded both like a party and scared screaming at the same time .... I was like what?! Then I listened harder and distinguished their bleeting

That loud!?

They actually drink it, but I suppose that some get's on the beard's. They have 2 water station's too with fresh water. I don't know why they think that they have to drink their own pee.

I bet some of you have been wondering if I have fired up either of my 2 incubator's again, yet. No, I haven't but don't think that it's not on my mind!

@KDOGG331 Now you know why I will never eat goat. I can't see myself trying to raise any neither.
